Marine Ecology

An introduction to the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems. The paper explores the fundamentals of ecology (e.g. disturbance/recovery, recruitment, organism interactions with their environment, nutrient cycles, limits on productivity) in a marine setting. We also cover human impacts on marine environments including fisheries as well as the design of ecological surveys and experiments. Field trip and practical classes are integral to the paper.
